RecycledSpoons · reddit · 2026-08-09
To address common struggles with character/object swapping in Minimax H3 (Ref2va) video-to-video (V2V), the author shares a reliable prompt template.
The secret to a successful swap is being as descriptive as possible about the replacement subject. The template structures the prompt into key sections:
- subjectdefinitions: Defines the source video (providing camera movement, lighting, choreography) and the replacement subject (with an image and a 1-sentence detailed description like colors, materials, and shape).
- summary: States the goal of replacing the original subject with the new one.
- retentionanalysis: Outlines what to keep. Source video is partially preserved (background, camera path, motion trajectory), while the new subject is fully preserved (visual identity, colors, design details).
- detaileddescription: Details the specific actions and overall style post-swap.
- Audio: Preserves synchronized source audio and background music.
